[QUOTE=Southern Yankee] I’ve never been to a Dope Fest before. Are there rules? Do you reveal your real names and such (if they’ve been kept secret), or do we address each other as our SDMB personalities? :dubious: [/QUOTE] The last one (first one) I went to, I was introduced to everyone with their names and then promptly forgot them. And Wooo! Metagaming with **Dio**! Likely one or both of us will be dead and can talk about it by then. ---

Sorry it took so long to reply! I don’t recall if they have any ciders on tap. I don’t drink them so I don’t pay much attention to them. I do know they have Guiness, Harp, Bass, Smithwicks, and a few other beers on tap. ---

Hey y’all- It is a definite possible maybe that I could show up! These days I’m living in Richmond while I recuperate from back surgery and I don’t know anyone. At all. Besides my Mom, whom I love. But still. I’m presentable, and I scrub up kinda cute. And I can pay for my own drinks. All I’d really need is a bed for the night. (And I would need a bed - that back surgery thing) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/charlotte-dope-fest-2nd-attempt/433051.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/charlotte-dope-fest-2nd-attempt/433051.md?page=3)
